Scottish televisions aren't that hot, are they?

I recognized it, but I was late. @WWGD had already quoted it.

I don't know. Scottsmen are very traditional people, maybe they still use cathode ray tubes in their tvs. They can get hot!

 

[WWGD]

Rob Roy and his Mars bars? How did he fry his?

Need to talk like a lawyer on a case or pay the price!

 

[WWGD]

Isn't ( a horse) with no name a way of naming the horse? Could we write a song (to wrap/rap) about that?

 

[fresh_42]

But to be honest: If I had to choose between a fried Mars bar and a Haggis, the Mars bar would definitely win. Whether those habits are the reason they have some really good Whiskeys?

Was it this horse?

 

[WWGD]

Was it this horse?

Outside of a set of measure 0 , where it is eating Haggis.

They have a building architecture style called " Brutalist" ,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutalist_architecture which is a style where mostly buildings used for non-popular functions just do not claim to be anything other than what they are. Like a police building for the state force: no coffee nor gift shops. I mean, what can hey have in a gift shop? A teddy bear that says " You can't do that, I know my rights" every time you press it?

That's an euphemism for ugly.

 

[WWGD]

That's an euphemism for ugly.

But that's sort of the point. The function is one that is seen as ugly, so the architect makes no effort to hide the ugliness. They just present it for what it is instead.EDIT: At least as I understood the term.

It seems like telling someone " Your mom looks really strong" is not always a compliment ( Bet she could power lift?) ?

Well, I guess it depends. Interesting...

It was a kind of awkward (maybe understatement) reply when someone complimented me. I thought I needed to return it but couldn't think of anything else.

Still likely better than "Cool Mustache. Who's that? It's my mom...".

Two super storms ravaging America and SEA, I am glad I live in a meteorologically stable place.

Yeah, I agree. Those are big storms...

 

[Navin]

So...howz life ?

 

[nuuskur]

bought 15 kg of honey for about 100 euro

 

[MrAerospace]

Well, I’m away from the hurricanes, so good I guess;)
How about you?

Dang that’s a lot of honey

 

[nuuskur]

I don't like sugar in my tea, so I use honey. It doesn't have that annoying sharp-sweet taste as sugar, but much milder. I should be good until next summer.

 

[Navin]

Im fine...just doing a ton of homework

 

[Navin]

Say...who has seen this little known film "Donnie Darko"

 

[nuuskur]

Shut up and do your homework

Ok mom !

Why should one ignore the feelings of the hard drives involved? Down with the Patriarchy ! \Sarc

But in my experience honey does not meet easily into drinks. I can only taste it in the last sip.

An app and a nap. Both worked out well.

I deleted around 1,000 emails today. I have deleted similar amounts a good number of times. But I still have some 20,000 messages in my inbox. And that is just for a single account.

Maybe you should just create a junk mail filter and let it deal with the spam?

Hotmail has one (Kind if embarrassed to admit I use it) byt it is if poor quality and I don't think I can train it nor does it train itself using my input: Ii move messages from the same source into spam repeatedly nut Hotmail keeps accepting messages from the same source. I remove some from spam folder into regular mail yet Hotmail keeps sending them to spam. Is there a way of training it?

 

[Borg]

Have you tried going into your options and setting inbox rules?

 

[WWGD]

Have you tried going into your options and setting inbox rules?

Yes, will check it out. Still I forgot to mention I was also deleting old messages that did not matter. EDIT: I think that is available only for the Premium version, I only have the basic service.

(Makes more sense when spoken) :Is (Lionel) Messi Messy?

 

[WWGD]

I have seen a lot of Europeans feeding this sense (which is somewhat accurate for most people in any country) that people in the U.S are completely ignorant of the rest of the world. I told this guy at Starbucks who was speaking some northern Euro language : " Hey, go back to Mexico!". Now he has another story to tell.

 

[fresh_42]

We have plenty of dialects in this country. And almost everybody has his favorites and those he cannot stand. Of course, this sets are different from person to person. This is, I think, a natural attitude. Now, how does it come, that I extended this to English dialects, and even worse, that I find it very painful to listen to English English? (Just watching a BBC documentary about our species which only has a voice-over translation instead of a substituted audible track.)

Then just go back to Mexico! ;).

My Portuguese is too bad ;).

Then have a paella so you feel like you're in Mexico. Denial is not just a mountain in China, you know!

Dedicated bike lanes may be on their way out. Many are blaming them for the increase in traffic. And the issue if bikers taking extreme right turns that could easily main pedestrians. Last issue could be taken care of if sidewalks were at right angles in intersections , forcing bikers to slow down before turning. But it seems the main, if not only consideration in designing roads is to optimize, maximize flow of cars.D o you have dedicated bike lanes ?

Don't you just love dumplings?

There's always time for dumplings.

There's always time for dumplings.

Is that a pet name for the woman you refer to here? Or you mean other dumplings?
